But these articles aren't helping.

yeah, its likely it will be a mix of condo and rental in the short term at least.
the first building was a bit misguided I think...the units were all three bedroom, 1500 square foot type places. That will certainly change as they move forward.
The marketing has also been extremely light, for whatever reason. Now that all the infrastructure is in and the transit station is built it will be interesting to see how aggressive they become. They need to be selling the entire development, not just individual buildings. Lifestyle marketing.
Once they get a couple buildings up the negativity will fade away, but they need to get to that point.
